Our work suggests that user awareness about deceptive designs alone is not enough to protect consumers and that regulations still have a large part to play to protect users against online manipulative designs.

Summary: a (rather simple) AI bot can not only successfully evade survey-level protections, it can also mimic personas accurately across questions, parse photos/videos, and infer the researcher’s hypotheses to produce data that confirms them.
